Is it possible to create a kill file in Pine to filter all posts from
[email-masked]

Pls respond by e-mail if possible.

Maybe there should be a notice the first time pine pops up, saying exactly
that... >;->

And here's a little more from Pine's QandA:

  How can I filter messages into different incoming folders?

   Pine does not perform delivery filtering; that is the function of
   other programs, such as (on Unix hosts) "procmail" or "mailagent." For
   details on selection and configuration of such programs, see the
   Filtering Mail FAQ (by Nancy McGough) at one of the following
   locations:

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"

For deleting mail from a given address ELM's filter will do:
http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/elm/elm.filter.html

You need to set up this kind of filter rule:
	if (from = user@main) then delete

But if you need to get fancy then you should use procmail!
